 are elaborating on five things that you must undertake after buying a 
used car. You may be surprised to know that, even though we are 
discussing this topic, you need not do any of the things when buying a 
car from Indus. As we have a well-defined buying and selling process. 
Therefore, you would be receiving a well-maintained and documented 
pre-owned car.1. Servicing of the Used CarServicing
 the car is mandatory among the things you should do after buying a used
 car. You will not have a clear idea about the internal condition of the
 car when buying it from an individual seller or a used car dealership 
(other than Indus, since we undertake a 376-point checklist for 
repairing and refurbishing the used car). Take the car only to an 
approved servicing center. Ask for a comprehensive servicing of the 
vehicle including oil and filter changes. Thus, you can evade the 
possibility of any immediate defects or malfunctions. You can consult 
our technical team if you have any queries or concerns regarding the 
used car you bought. We will help you even if the car is not bought from
 us.Read to know: <a style="text-decoration:none;" href="https://indususedcars.com/blog/how-often-to-service-car" target="_self" rel="internal">How Often Should You Service the Car?</a>2. Get the Car WashedClean
 the car both externally and internally. Of course, we agree that you 
received the car in a bright and shining condition. After a proper 
cleaning by the seller or dealer. Still, it is better to get the car 
cleaned before you start using it. The cleaning would be the first step 
of making the car, which had been someone else’s, your own. Welcome your
 family members to a properly cleaned and sanitized vehicle.3. Transfer of OwnershipThe
 Road Transport Rules in India stipulate the ownership transfer by the 
car seller. Even then, as a responsible buyer, you must ensure that 
ownership transfer of the vehicle is done as per the laid down rules. 
Executives from Indus Used Cars would handle all the documentation for 
ownership transfer on your behalf of you. In turn, you will be receiving
 the vehicle in your name only. And would not require you to run around 
complying with formalities. The transfer formalities would become of 
paramount importance when you buy the pre-owned car from an individual 
seller or a person known to you directly. In that case, do not 
procrastinate the ownership transfer and complete it before you take 
over the car.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Read: <a style="text-decoration:none;" href="https://indususedcars.com/blog/vehicle-rc-transfer-process" target="_self" rel="internal">Guide for Car Ownership Transfer (Documents, Process &amp; Cost)</a>4. Car InsuranceCar
 insurance is a mandatory requirement. The insurance amount would depend
 on the age of the vehicle. If the vehicle has valid insurance, get it 
transferred to your name. Alternatively, you can opt for new car 
insurance in your name. Since the car is a second-hand one, the 
insurance amount would be much lower compared to a new car. Whatever it 
is, take insurance in your name. It would not only avoid fines by RTO 
but also assure financial support in case of an unfortunate event.

The popularity of automatic cars is increasing each day. The introduction of affordably priced automatic transmission options led to more people choosing it. Maruti Suzuki, the leading player in the Indian automobile industry, has been spearheading the transformation.As with any machinery, defects can occur in automatic transmission as well. Recognizing the tell-tale indications would help you in preventing unexpected breakdowns. Think how embarrassing and troublesome it would be when your vehicle stops midway. Indus Used Cars undertake a comprehensive inspection of the used cars we sell. That would reduce the chances of automatic transmission defects. Our lauded after-sales support would ensure the proper functioning of the system. Here we are discussing major automatic transmission problems you need to pay attention to. Get the defect resolved as and when you spot it. To avoid cascading effects that would lead to the complete failure of the system.Read to know: <a href="https://indususedcars.com/blog/how-to-extend-the-life-of-your-car" target="_self" rel="internal">How to extend the life of your car?</a> <h2 align="justify">Major Reasons which Cause Automatic Transmission Problems</h2> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" id="docs-internal-guid-aedf0071-7fff-6834-c506-4cc2898dc6f5"><img src="https://api.indususedcars.com/uploads/image_1751696977071_bfgw9k_87e328c83f.jpg" style="margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;" width="624" height="468">1. Improper Maintenance Schedule Automatic transmission requires periodic preventive and predictive maintenance servicing. Lack of which can cause unforeseen defects and may result in major automatic transmission problems. The fluids and filters must be replenished/ replaced in the proposed periodicity. The car manufacturers determine the life of the components after detailed analysis and testing only. Therefore, it is very unlikely for the components to function properly post the periodicity they suggest. This can result in a defective automatic transmission.&nbsp;&nbsp;You may also find this interesting: <a style="text-decoration:none;" href="https://indususedcars.com/blog/how-often-to-service-car" target="_self" rel="internal">How Often Should You Service the Car?</a> 2. Leakage from the System&nbsp; Defective gaskets and seals are other common problems in automatic transmission. Consequent leakage of fluid is the reason for low fluid levels, overheating, friction between moving components, burning of fluid, and similar defects in the system. Get the leakage checked and implement the corrective repair. That would preclude subsequent defects in the system, which might be too expensive and time-consuming.3.&nbsp; Delayed Response in TransmissionThe visible delay in response from the automatic transmission needs to be checked and corrected. A slight delay in responding to the engagement is normal. You need to consult the technical team only if the transmission system appears hesitant in engaging. Insufficient fuel pressure or issues with the clutch may be the reason behind this problem.4. Slippery Gears&nbsp;The ECU is the brain for the automatic transmission system. It monitors the acceleration, calculates based on different variable inputs, and controls the shifting of gears. The non-response from the ECU is the cause of slippery gears, which normally cause major automatic transmission problems.5. Gears Rubbing with Each OtherGears rubbing with each other or gears grinding is not a common defect in the case of automatic transmission. Periodic servicing and inspection by qualified professionals would help in precluding this defect.6. No Gear Shift&nbsp; Automatic transmission is affected by a number of components like pistons, solenoids, friction clutches, mechanical clutches, and servos functioning in tandem, controlled by the ECU. Any anomalies in the computer can lead to erroneous functioning, leading to improper shifting of gears or no gearshift at all. You need an expert technician for inspecting the system and undertaking the corrective repair. 7. Engine Warning Light The check engine light warning is not limited only to engine defects. The defect could be in the engine, transmission system, or any associated systems. A detailed inspection is necessary to identify the exact cause and undertake the repair. What the indication means would differ depending on the car model, make, type of systems installed, and so on. 8. Engine Stalling You can expect this defect if the car has a torque converter automatic transmission. The engine might turn off while in low-speed conditions. The Clutch is supposed to disengage when the car is slow. Otherwise, the gears would overload the engine leading to stalling. Get the automatic transmission checked in detail and institute repair measures. The car might break down on the road if the defect is not rectified at the earliest. 9. Defective Torque Converter The torque converter is a crucial component in the transmission system. It transmits the torque produced to the transmission system and drive wheels. A defective torque converter would cause overheating, shuttering sensation, and other issues. It may also stop shifting to upper gears even when the vehicle is accelerated. Eventually resulting in complete disruption of the automatic transmission system. Take your car to an expert automobile mechanic in the first instance itself to avoid major automatic transmission problems. 10. Issues with the Solenoids&nbsp; Worn-out solenoids can impede the smooth functioning of automatic transmission systems. It can create issues with gear downshifting or upshifting and lead to irregular pressure in the system. The engine warning light coming on without any defects can also occur due to a defective solenoid. The electrical system analysis might be required to rule out the solenoid defect or to replace the specific defective solenoid.<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.96364; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 8pt;" id="docs-internal-guid-ea412006-7fff-e243-936b-aaf6ef3f4b17" align="justify">The Conclusion</h2>Periodic servicing of the automatic system would assure you of the fault-free functioning of the system. This may also help you avoid major automatic transmission problems that need to pay attention to as early as possible. You should pursue the servicing schedule suggested by the manufacturer for receiving the best performance from the car. Further, you should get the car serviced at a trusted servicing center only.

Buying a used car had been a herculean task earlier. Finding the model one wants itself used to takes ages. Even if it is available, the condition of the car, the exorbitant price quoted by the owner, the hefty commission by the car broker, etc have been demotivating factors. Many rejected the idea of second-hand cars only due to these painstakingly bothering processes. The scenario has changed completely nowadays. The entry of trusted car dealers like Indus into the used car market transformed the sector. Nowadays, car buyers can get the car of their choice at the right price. Tested and maintained by the technical team, the car would perform without any kind of concern. Evaluation of the used car mandates a comprehensive approach.&nbsp; As a buyer, you must know how second-hand cars are valued to get a good price. Understanding the key factors to be checked and assessed, is vital for avoiding paying extra. Nonetheless, you need not worry about the valuation of the second-hand car you buy from Indus Used Cars. Each car sold by us is examined and evaluated by our specialist team. Therefore, you would be paying the right price for the used car you purchase from Indus. <h2>Factors that Influence a Used Car's Value</h2><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" id="docs-internal-guid-0b0fc1f1-7fff-3e5e-40b2-3ee388974d9b"><img src="https://api.indususedcars.com/uploads/image_1751696973237_pya15o_b2ec727167.jpg" style="margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;" width="624" height="351"> We are explaining the factors that state the value of the car. Inspect the car, its documents, and overall condition to assess the exact value. We are discussing here the points on how second-hand cars are valued to get a good price.<ul><li>Age of the Used Car</li></ul>A new car’s value starts diminishing the day it reaches the customer. It is considered a used car even if sold within a month or year of purchase. The cost goes down significantly if the car is aged more than ten years. A few models will cost you more even though they are old. Therefore, the price of the second-hand car would vary depending on the model, variant, etc. In addition to the year of manufacture. You may have to confirm the spare support in case you are buying a discontinued model. Brands like Maruti and Hyundai may provide spare support for their models. It may not be the case with the other car manufacturers.<ul><li>Kilometres Run </li></ul>Check the usage or kilometers run. The components are susceptible to wear and tear. With the increased usage the performance of all components, including the engine, would go down substantially. It is not advisable to pay a heavy price for such an extensively used car. Car brokers and unreliable car sellers are observed to paste a doctor’s or advocate’s logo on the windscreen, to show that the car hasn’t been used much. Do not fall prey to their fakery.<ul><li>Confirm the Number of Owners </li></ul>It is preferable to buy a single-owner car. The more owners, or the more the number of people who have used the car, the higher the wear and tear. Consequently, the price of the car should come down. A single-owner car is demanded by more people. Read the <a href="https://indususedcars.com/blog/vehicle-rc-transfer-process" target="_self" rel="internal">Guide for Car Ownership Transfer (Documents, Process &amp; Cost).</a><ul><li>Insurance Status of the Car </li></ul>Choose an insured car, even though it costs more than an uninsured one. The owner may not have renewed the insurance or the insurance may be able to expire. In both these cases, the price of second-hand cars should come down. &nbsp; Read to know: <a href="https://indususedcars.com/blog/car-without-insurance-india" target="_self" rel="internal">Can You Sell A Car Without Insurance in India?</a><ul><li>Condition of the Car </li></ul>The condition of the car is important in how second-hand cars are valued to get a good price. The internal and external condition of the car, how it performs during the test drive, how is the appearance, etc are also determining factors for a secondhand car. It is not possible to check all the components thoroughly in a couple of hours. That is why we suggest buying only from a reliable used car seller like Indus Used Cars. Still, you can carry out a test drive to ascertain the overall performance, as well as, inspect the car as much as possible.<ul><li>Servicing </li></ul>A properly serviced car would offer better performance and life than an improperly serviced one. The condition of the components and driveability of the car will tell you the status of the service. An expert mechanic would be able to assess the car and provide inputs regarding the servicing condition. In the case of Indus Used Cars, our technical team undertakes a 376-point inspection. To ascertain the condition of components and the corrective measures. Hence, the second-hand car bought from Indus would perform the best.

They might sell it even if the accident was a minor one. It is your prerogative to buy such a car or not. The car would be available at a cheap price, owing to its accident history. We will not propose you buy a car reconditioned after a major accident. Although repaired, the car might encounter technical issues frequently. Making the maintenance of the car a true headache for you, besides the exorbitant expenditure for repair and replacement of components.<ul><li>Documents </li></ul>Ensure that all the documents are available and they are genuine. The seller is supposed to complete the vehicle transfer formalities and hand over the car to you. Therefore, there are only minimal chances of fake documents. Albeit, you must check and confirm the authenticity of the documents. Indus executives complete all the formalities for you when you buy a car from us.<ul><li>The Tail End </li></ul>Go through the points discussed here to know how second-hand cars are valued to get a good price.

brokerage).<h6 style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;"></h6>We

cost anything to the buyer). Having said that, the pre-sale inspection 
and certification process is the dealer’s responsibility.Selling

certified pre-owned car.Easy and Convenient Financing Process: Support

Who doesn’t dream of owning a luxury car after all? The cost of those cars is the biggest obstacle that prevents people from going for them. Another main reason is the shortage of reliable used luxury car sellers.

We all love our car and want it to function perfectly beyond the normally assured life period. Maintaining a car healthy is not that difficult if you follow standard maintenance procedures. Further, the following tips would be useful in ensuring that the components as well as the vehicle will function error-free. Check out how to extend the life of your car.<h2>Things you Must Consider to Extend Your Cars Life</h2><h2 align="justify"></h2>1. Follow the Maintenance Schedule Stated in the Manual Judiciously. One of the things that are most frequently overlooked is this. More often than not, car owners presume it to be expensive. In reality, avoiding the periodic servicing stated in the manual is going to be costly. It would affect the life periodicity of the components as well as the car.Read to know: <a href="https://indususedcars.com/blog/how-often-to-service-car" target="_self" rel="internal">How Often Should You Service the Car?</a> 2. Periodic Replacement and Replenishment of Oil and Other Fluids. Periodic Replacement Oil and other fluids are important when thinking about how to extend the life of your car. Oils and fluids are intended for lubrication and cooling down of bearings and components. Heating the system can affect efficiency and bring down life. Fresh and clear oil will maintain the system components efficiently throughout, enhancing life and boosting performance. It may be ideal to change oil at around 2000 kilometers of running. Take the kilometers or periodicity mentioned in the manual as the yardstick. 3. Don’t Ignore Warnings and Tell-tale Indications. “Check Engine” warning, foul smell while the car is on, strange sounds from the engine, irregular engine knocking, etc might indicate something.&nbsp; Ignoring the indications or procrastinating will result in excessive expenses on engine repair. In addition to an alarming reduction in engine life. As you understand, the engine is the heart of any car. 4. Replacement of Air Filter. The air filter is the lungs of the car engine. It prevents unwanted objects from entering the engine. Debris or moisture entering inside the engine can lead to a reduction in engine life or serious effects like the seizure of the engine. Change of air filter at every 15000 to 20000 kilometers is advised to prevent such problems. A clean and properly functioning air filter is necessary for obtaining the best fuel efficiency as well. 5. Overworking a Cold Car Must be Avoided. You might be wondering why we are stating about engine health at every point. The fact is, the health of the engine is the health of the car. The main component of every vehicle, the proper maintenance of the engine is of paramount importance. Let the engine heat up and reach normal operating temperature before pushing it to extreme functional levels. Overworking a cold car will bring life down significantly. 6. Check Tyres and Maintain Tyre Pressure. Reduced tire pressure will damage the tires, besides reducing the mileage. Always maintain the tire pressure suggested by the manufacturer. It is also not good to overinflate the tire. 7. Unruly Driving is Harmful to Car. Aggressive driving, quick acceleration and deceleration, hard stopping, and similar driving can impact the life of your car. The life of the car will improve itself if you practice the standard way of driving. You may think this is funny, but it is a reality. 8.&nbsp;&nbsp; Keep the Fuel Filled At Least Half. Fuelling is an expensive thing in this time of skyrocketing fuel prices. People normally wait for the fuel reserve indication to come on to fill the tank. It can affect the performance of the fuel pump. The fuel pump is installed inside the tank in cars nowadays and it is lubricated by the fuel. The lack of adequate fuel inside the tank will affect the lubrication and would result in a defective pump. 9.&nbsp; Plan Your Trips and Avoid Short Trips. Frequent short trips will cause multiple cold operations of the engine. To prevent this, you may plan your trips accordingly. Instead of multiple short trips, take a single trip comprising all the requirements. Even though not possible every time, you can comply with this most of the time. Strong sunlight not only affects the paint of the car but also reduces the life or damages the components like wipers. As much as possible, leave your car parked in the shade. People normally think that sunlight affects only the external area of a vehicle. It is not the cause.<h2 align="justify">Benefits of Maintaining the Car Healthy </h2><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" id="docs-internal-guid-5d80b6de-7fff-b488-f74d-28c8d4ca778c"><img src="https://api.indususedcars.com/uploads/image_1751696968800_z8cg9_512060d5bd.jpg" style="margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;" width="624" height="468">Observing and understanding how to extend the life of your car will help you maintain the car healthily.
